GitHub

  • GitHub – github.com/HACC2024 (not yet active – HACC 2024 will create your HACC repository for this event)

Team Members must create a GitHub account at GitHub.com, or log in with an existing GitHub account. There is no charge for creating a GitHub account. This will enable teams to receive important updates and meet HACC submission.  Each team member will need to supply this existing or new account to team captain so that they can be linked to their team’s repository by our administrator.

By submitting a proof of concept or prototype, teams make the code open source and grant permission to the State of Hawaii to duplicate, reuse or re-purpose any portion of the submission code, visual design elements or concepts.

Registration & Submission Forms

Teams must use GitHub and these forms to be eligible for prizes.
